It emphasizes tension

In the passage, Death was personified to show how the old man seems to have perceived his impending death despite not having seen nor heard the presence of the murderer in the room. Death had the characteristics of having the ability to stalk, to have a shadow and to envelop its victim. All of which are humanistic attributes that death in its real sense could not possibly enact. It creates the tension on the murder that is about to happen and the thoughts of the murderer on his victim.

5. What is the historical backdrop of the story "The Last Lesson"?
natka813 [3]
Can you send a picture? I need more information about the article but I am pretty sure that it is A) the French invasion of Germany.

Expansion
The story, 'The Last Lesson' has been set in the background of the Franco-Prussian war that was fought in 1870-71 between Prussia and France. The Prussians captured the districts of Alsace and Lorraine. New orders were issued according to which German language was to be taught in place of French in these two districts. It doesn’t have anything to do with World War l or ll so it have to be A) or D). The Germans didn’t invade Alsace, the Prussians did so D) can’t be it. The only answer left is A) so you’re answer would have to be A).

How do you evaluate the moment when the father told his son about the quote 'St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians says that
zlopas [31]

Answer and Explanation:

You forgot to say that this question is about "Marriage Is a Private Affair." The moment when the father affrms that women must remain silent is a moment when we can perceive a generation gap. This is because the father was raised in a generation in which women were oppressed and limited, they had no rights and could not occupy prominent positions in society. However, for the child, women must be subjected to quality education to promote a more egalitarian and fair society, where women are of great importance, as well as their words.
